Noninvasive spatiotemporal imaging of neural transmission in the subcortical visual pathway
Abstract Spatiotemporal signal transmission in the human subcortical visual pathway has not been directly demonstrated to date. To delineate this signal transmission noninvasively, we investigated the early latency components between 45 ms (P45m) and 75 ms (N75m) of visually-evoked neuromagnetic fie...

Abstract Spatiotemporal signal transmission in the human subcortical visual pathway has not been directly demonstrated to date.

Four healthy volunteers participated in this study. Hemi-visual field light flash stimuli were delivered a total of 1200 times. Neuromagnetic responses were measured with a 160-channel whole-head gradiometer.
